1 Corinthians 13

Love
1 Corinthians 13

1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

A Quote from Paolo Coelho

I like reading novels of Paolo Coelho and one that caught my thought is this one from his novel "By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept"

" If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him. Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering."

I just want to share it with you ...

Swept Away

I never had anything happen so fast
I took one look and I shattered like glass
I guess I let it show 'cause your smile told me you knew
That you're everything I ever wanted at onceT
here's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants
And I never wanted anything more than to know you

I was swept awayNo one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do
I was swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the dayI was swept away

And so it begins
This journey of love
The summer wind carries us to places all our own
The words of a lookThe language of touch
The way that you want me means so much
And I never wanted anything more than to love you
I was swept awaySeeing my tomorrows in your eyes
I was swept away

I hope I wake up soonI'm a victim of that crazy moon
The very first time you said my nameI knew it would never sound the same
Something about me is changed forever

Fallin'

have you ever felt this unseen push and pull ofsomething extraordinary and yet you cannot explain itnor put in mere words the description of what you truly feel?

i plan not to write about this and yet i want to sowhen all this is over ... or not ... then i have this piece to read and remember this time of my life when clouds set in and the height of fear is as scary as falling from the zenith of a mountain without anything to hold on to.

falling .... yes, now i know why being in love is called "falling" than actually "climbing" .

you fall and wham! it hits you right at the face. you tried to duck, avoid the impact but it will hit you when it does. and what you can do? feel the emotions it builds slowly from its source, a mixture of boiling and freezing points ... stopping whatever you're doing and just allow nothing but for everything to set in...

i see him and i duck, avoid the impact, even run sofar away ... but what can i do but when my heart is pounding, my smile is giving me away and my head isnothing short but gray matters of him? i have tried to set free myself and feel but when i allow it to happen, i can actually imagine myself in thatmountain, my feet just an inch away from the crash.

so i hold on tight, close my eyes and pray. should i fall or not .... this i ask when i was already fallin' ...

i pray. i pray that the next coming of time, i will see clarity of things, vivid imaginations put into reality, emotions put into action ... you and me.

maybe my next blog will be a different story to tell ....

later. :)
